What Are No Man’s Sky Expeditions?
Greetings, space explorers! Explorations are the best way to start playing No Man’s Sky or make your space travel more exciting. These events with time limits give players of all skill levels a fresh start and fun missions to complete.
Simply put – Expeditions are timed events in which you embark on galactic trips from one specific point in the galaxy to another. They encompass several challenges and achievements exclusive to each named Expedition. Each Expedition has a unique starship that you must use to complete the event. Once completed, there is a multitude of items and rewards waiting for you. Keep in mind that Expeditions are timed events, so get them done while you still can!

How Long Does It Take to Finish a NMS Expedition?
Are you trying to figure out how long an Expedition will take? This is what happened:
- Expeditions usually last between 6 and 8 weeks.
- Duration varies, but you can expect 10 to 20 hours of gameplay.
- You can play at your own speed within the time limit.
Not rushing to finish everything at once is a good trick. Enjoy the ride and take your time.
Your experience matters.
If you have 0 to 25 hours in NMS (normal) = 30-45 hours to finish.
If you have 25 to 50 hours in NMS = 25-30 hours to finish.
50 to 100 = 15-20 hours.
10 to 500 = 10-15 hours.
Greater than 500 hours = as much or as little time as you want.If you’ve played survival/pd legit (no duping, no sunset glyps, no gifts in the anomaly etc) and have got the said achievement, i’d say 15-20 hours tops.
So in summary, anywhere from 15-25 hours is what’s expected. And at 3 hours a day, it’d take 5-8 days. The expedition, as of right now, has 5 weeks remaining.

Is It Possible to Fully Explore No Man’s Sky?
You, as a single person, will never explore the entirety of No Man’s Sky. It already takes long enough to circumvent a single planet, let alone over 18 quintillion of them. In fact, it’s very likely the entire player base would never explore all of it.
– TheGamer –
There is no way, and that’s what makes it great!
- There are more than 18 quintillion worlds in the game.
- There is always more to learn with new content updates.
- Not even the people who made the game have seen everything in it.
Don’t let that stop you, though. The trip, not the end goal, is what makes No Man’s Sky so beautiful.
